Lucha Underground - El Rey Network Update !

I don’t know what’s going to happen here because the show is expensive to produce and the ratings aren’t moving the way the station would like. It appears each shoot is costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, and national ads on the station during wrestling are going for between $150 and $300 for a 30 second spot. If you add that up, the show doesn’t make sense. The cancellation of “El Matador,” which was supposed to have a commitment for a second season, says that El Rey is not fully committed to its first-run programming if it doesn’t catch on. The hope was that Lucha Underground, which has been heavily advertised on Raw and has gotten strong word-of-mouth, would be a show that would bring people to the station and start putting the station on the map.
